Hello everyone. I post today an instrumental built on one of my favorite Little Walter tune's "Can't Hold Out Longer". As usual my post is perfectible, I recorded it on one shot.

I use a marine band classic in C (Chicago blues in G 2nd position).

Cheers from France

Hi All,

In this year I get used to it I perform on the stage. More or less I already know what I can expect for.

But there is one thing...

You affected by lot of new impressions which aren't in your practice room: stage, lights, audience and excitement because of this things. These excitement helps you to perform more attractive because it generates higher level of attitude.

In nomal case this excitement always will be there anytime you perform on the stage. And every stage completely else. continue reading...

Hi guys

This is my harp solo on Telephone Blues by George Harmonica Smith. I decided to leave the tasty guitar solo in there.

Hope you like it.

My Wife and I were asked to join a blues band 1 week ago from a jam we attended regularly. 

2 days later we were at a studio to do the recording and 2 days later did a video shoot. 

This is all a first for me and what an awesome experience. 

For inspiration I listened to Bonnie Rait with special guest Jerry Portnoy live video.

Hi, with this recording I let me inspired by two great artists who both have that warm melodic harmonica sound in common: Big Walter Horton and Jerry Portnoy.  I made some cocktail of pieces from

- Tin Pan Alley (BWH, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS8VYYNDWFM),

- Blues for Big Nate (JP, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng4XQXI6EKc),

- and Live at Cha (JP together wih Rick Estrin, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS8VYYNDWFM )
